Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the accused committed attempted intentional homicide
Decisione estratta
Yes. He acted with eventual intent when he used a knife against the victim's neck during a close-range confrontation.
Motivazione estratta
The neck wound was highly dangerous, the attack was deliberate after the first confrontation had ended, and the accused had time to desist. The victim's later defensive pushing did not create a justifying emergency.
